Quartararo: Yamaha MotoGP team has “really short time” to convince me to stay
French rider Fabio Quartararo made his debut with Yamaha in 2019 and won the MotoGP title with the factory team in 2021, ending a seven-year drought for the brand. He re-signed with Yamaha for two more years in 2022, but had a tough season in 2023 and finished 10th in the standings with only three podium finishes. Quartararo says Yamaha doesn’t have much time to convince him that they have a winning project for the 2025 season, as most factory contracts will be up for renewal. Despite the challenging season, Quartararo still has a good relationship with Yamaha and would love to come back to victories. He acknowledges that he knew from the start of the season that he wouldn’t be a title contender, but he still gave his best and saw improvement in the second half of the season. Quartararo is interested in seeing what will happen next year with Marc Marquez’s move to Ducati, as well as his former teammate Franco Morbidelli’s switch to Pramac.
